What Size Truck Do I Need for a One-Bedroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most one-bedroom apartment moves will need a 10′ truck rental<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apartment Size<\/strong><\/th>Truck Size<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
1-Bedroom (Average amount of belongings)<\/td>10\u2032 Truck<\/td><\/tr>
1-Bedroom (More than average amount of belongings)<\/td>15′ Truck<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Picking the right size moving truck is an important part of setting yourself up for a successful move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want to rent too small of a truck and risk running out of room. On the other hand, too big of a truck can leave extra space and lead to load shift that might damage your belongings. You can always get advice from your professional apartment moving labor providers<\/a> on which truck size they think you\u2019ll need for your apartment move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many U-Box\u00ae Moving Containers Do I Need for a One-Bedroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will likely only need two U-Box containers<\/a> to pull off moving to a one-bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One U-Box container, which has a 257 cubic feet capacity, can hold more than you might think. Customers are usually able to fit a room to a room and a half of furniture and belongings per container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apartment Size<\/strong><\/th># of U-Box Containers<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
1-Bedroom (Average amount of belongings)<\/td>2 U-Box Containers<\/td><\/tr>
1-Bedroom (More than average amount of belongings)<\/td>3 U-Box Containers<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Many Moving Boxes Do I Need for a One-Bedroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will need about 40 moving boxes in a variety of sizes to successfully move a one-bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apartment Size<\/strong><\/th>Small Boxes<\/strong><\/th>Medium Boxes<\/th>Large Boxes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
1-Bedroom (Average amount of belongings)<\/td>10 Small Boxes<\/a><\/td>20 Medium Boxes<\/td>10 La<\/a>rge <\/a>Boxes<\/a><\/td><\/tr>
1-Bedroom (More than average amount of belongings)<\/td>15 Small Boxes<\/td>25 Medium Boxes<\/a><\/td>10 Large Boxes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Worried you might be buying too many boxes? It’s better to have leftover boxes than be in a time crunch and run out. U-Haul centers accept returns for all unused boxes when you keep your receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to grab specialty boxes. You will likely need just one dish saver kit<\/a>, two to three wardrobe boxes<\/a>, and a TV box<\/a> for each flat screen you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
